rrmTRSPAY, MARCH 20, 1930. ************** * * TOWN AND * * COUNTY BRIEFS * * *************** \ number of the college boys ■ r i~ at home during the week-end and part of this week. Mr. Carey Bynum, a Greensboro jruggist, visited his parents here Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. James L. Griffin IT ul Mr. W. H. Griffin visited their sister, Mrs. Dark at Liberty Sunday. Miss Margaret Johnson, who has ee n teaching at Asbury, has en tered the East Carolina Teachers’ College at Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Brooks and the baby spent the week-end with Mrs. Brooks* parents, Mr. and Mrs. p F. Mason, near Lillington. Former Lieutenant-Governor Long h;is been in attendance at the court ir, session this week. Mrs. Long has been coming down from Durham giui spending the day with her sis ters, Mrs. DeGraffenreidt. The teachers of the county were in session at Siler City last Friday. Also, quite a number of them ex pect to attend the state meeting ir. Raleigh today and tomorrow. We regret to learn that Mr. W. J. Williams, an aged citizen of By num Rt. 1, is very ill, and is, in fact, hardly expected to survive more than a few days. He has been long a sufferer from an incurable disease. Mr. B. W. Mann, who will be 82 in June, was here Saturday and was as active as most men of sev enty. Year before last, when he couldn’t get any one to cut his wheat, he sharpened up his cradle blade and went out and cut the wheat. Mr. A. V. Nolan, former .princi pal of the Pittsboro school, now superintendent of the schools of McDowell county, stopped over at Pittsboro on his way to attend the teachers’ meeting in Raleigh. He has many friends here who were glad to see him. Mr. Robt. A. ’ Cotten writes a letter heartily approving the can didacy of Mr. S. W. Harrington for the House, and expresses the confidence that lower Chatham will give him a hearty support in the primary election. . From Bonlee comes the follow ing advertisement, for which .we are making no charge: “We, Bryan 0. Dunlap, W. Simmons Phillips, and W. T. Brooks, do hereby an nounce ourselves as farmers subject to the wishes of the good people around Bonlee. We will endeavor- to do our.best if the corn is in shady fields and 4f- plenty of- good wat-er is near. Write or phone either of us if this meets your approval.” The Record welcomes Mr. E. J. Barnes and family to the county. Mr. Barnes has bought the Carey Griffin place on the Moncure road and has already moved in. Mr. Bames is a lawyer, though his poor health for several years has caused him to retire from practice. He taught for a number of years be fore becoming a lawyer, and was once superintendent of schools of his native county Wilson. The ed- j itor knew his brother down in Sampson, and he was a mighty fine character. We have known Mr. E. J. Barnes two years and have been impressed with his good common sense. We consider the family an acquisition to the eounty. He and Mrs. Barnes have one son with them, while another is employed at I the Brickhaven brick plant. Mr. R. F. Grady, an experienced barber, has come from Chapel Hill to manage the Fields Building bar ber shop. Call him Graddy; that is the way the old Irish name is pro nounced down where he comes from. We are speaking Saturday night to Dr. Grady of Kenly, and he said that he was a Grad(d)y, and Judge Henry Grady insists upon the ancient prounciation of bis name. The shortening of a vowel by following it with a double consonant was the device of an old English poet in the days before the English language had become homogeneous in England, and Irish names were not affected by the trick. Little Marguerite Fields, daugh ter of Mr. and 'Mrs. Hubert Fields of the White’s Bridge community, was severely burned last week, when her gown caught afire while she was standing near the fireplace. Her j ogs were burned quite severely, and it will be sometime before she rcovers. Mr. Newton Moore, who is quite J chicken enthusiast, had white leg born biddies crowing on their 37th day. His main breed, however, is the Rhode Island Red. By the way, taat little advertisement he put in Lbe Record some weeks ago brought 'I rT an or( i er within a few days for AOOO eggs, besides the local calls * or settings. Ed Hinton, also, is dragging on his 300 Plymouth Rocks, but Ed’s biddies cost him 14 cents, apiece to start with, while Newton’s are home hatched. Also •apt. Alston and Charlie Moore, in 1 oots, are making a success of growing fryers and egg-producing Pallets. . Bishop Cheshire held Lenten serv iay Episcopal church Sun )* , - Mr. Will Thompson of Albrights owftship, an aged and highly re spected citizen, died Sunday, and as buried at Rocky River Friends’ ehurch Monday. A SPOOKY RABBIT? <§> Mr. Editor: You seem to have your own ideas about the lucky (or unlucky) Chat ham rabbit. So do I. How is this for one? A certain colored brother, while passing through an old field, saw (so says he) a rabbit, in its bed, and borrowed a shot gun and two shells, and went after his meat. Brer Rabbit was sitting quietly in his nest. He shot the rabbit. On going up nearer he saw the rabbit still there as if nothing had hap pened (saw his eyes too). Back-! ing off a few yards, he let him have the second load, full on the side of his head. Seems Brer Rabbit then just dis appeared—not a sign of hair, or hare, could he find. The colored brother returned the gun in quite a hurry, saying, “Mr. Jim, I’m goin’ to git out of dese here woods, ’fore the sun gits any lower.” MRS.- J. E. CROSS. Corrinth, N. C. ® RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT The grim reaper, which is death, is ever abroad in the land, seeking whom he may devour, taking the youth as those of mature .age. It was on the 13th day *of March, he -entered the home of our dear brother, Stonewall Jackson Fields, a member of our Council, Goldston No. 288, Jr. O. U. A. M., and called-him from time into Eternity to be with us no more. Therefore, be it resolved: First, that we bow in humble submission to the will of Him, Who doeth all things well and does not make any mistakes. Second, that we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sym pathy in the hour of their bereave ment. Third, that a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the family of the deceased brother, to the Chat ham Record, the Chatham News, and a copy spread on the minutes of our order. By order of the council in ses sion this the 15th day of March, 1930. J. W. BURKE VAN E. ELLIS Resolution Committee. fc— MT. VERNON P. C. S. NEWS The three lower grades of Bonlee school gave a program last Friday night. A large crowd was present and the occasion was very much enjoyed by all. The children of Mr. J. I. Bright gave him a surprise birthday dinner last Sunday, March 16. The five children and six grandchildren were all present. It was a nice little crowd, and everyone enjoyed it. There was a nitf© table spread. It was his 50th birthday. , -Little Miss Pauline Forrester who has been right sick is able to be back at school, we are glad to state. (' s> U. D. C. ENTERTAINED As joint hostesses Mrs. W. F. Bland, Mrs. H. D. Gunter and Mrs. J. W. Hunt entertained the Winnie Davis chapter of the U. D.

The hostesses aided by Miss Frances Bland served delicious sandwiches and tea. DR. BASS DEAD Rev.

HOW MONEY TRAVELS - —<s> — The Monroe Journal prints the ; paragraph below to show what it means to put a coin in circulation. If you have a spare one, start our and we assure vou it will keep up its pace. Says The Journal: Money travels as well as talks and when it travels in a circle it can do a lot of business. Yesterday Mr. Charley Helms walked into the Paramount barber shop with a basket of eggs. John Robinson, the barber, bought some of the eggs and gave Mr. Helms a piece of sn 1 Justice Motor I •A* ■ » ' ' ’ ’ »Y» I Company J | NOW READY FOR BUSINESS i $ Having bought the equipment and stock of the de- ® funct Weeks Motor Company, we are now ready 'for';. : .; in | business at f-| i f lfllll | | THE OLD WEEKS STAND I £. - • # A number of New Fords will be on display the last Ul • A * of the week.

Mr. Helms, seeing The Journal in the- chair, |used the money in paying his subscription. The edi tor used the same piece in paying the barber for his work. The barber took the same piece and went up stairs to the drug store and bought witch hazel. Mr. Helms, who sells milk to the drug store, went up stairs and was paid the same piece of money on his milk bill. Mr. Helms then probably put the money in the bank, as he likes to take care of it, where it is being lent to somebody else. There were five transactions in a few minutes on which the same piece of money was . in Mr. Helms’ hand twice and, in the barber’s twice. And Charley Helms’ hens started the whole busi ness. Money travels as well as talks. $ Last call this spring to build ter races to keep your soil at home and use it.
